Comprehensive In-vitro pharmacological activities of different extracts of Saussurea lappa

The current biological study deals with the various activities like Antioxidant, anticancer,cytotoxicity and antimicrobial of the methanolic and chloroform extract of Saussurea lappa. The anti-oxidant assay were carried out using DPPH method and reducing power assay using ascorbic acid as positive control. The study revealed significant activity of the plant when compared to the standards. Anticancer potential of the plant was studied using MTT assay for cell proliferation of DLA cell lines. Cytotoxicity studies and antimicrobial studies were also carried out to determine the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration [MIC] of different extracts of the plant which gave significant results
